...most part, the piece glows with an inner, radiant simplicity in which elements of the contemporary harmonic and rhythmic language are mingled with sureness and originality-of a different scope certainly, but at least on an equal plane, with the kind of deeply thought-out stylishness that characterized Brubeck's jazz work at its best.

You think very hard about nothing, narcissim at 33 and 1/3, until you like Mr. Jones "know something's happening but you don't know what...
...love, 50 of the guests formed a tight huddle around the bride and groom, hugged up close and rocked back and forth to the mu sic, while the lights flashed, balloons burst and everyone chanted the Hindu Hari Krishna (Hail Krishna).
